Charlton Athletic
After a potential move to Celtic of the Scottish Premier League broke down, Hasselbaink joined his fourth Premier League team, Charlton Athletic, on a free transfer in July 2006. Soon after joining the club, he was charged by the FA with improper conduct and/or bringing the game into disrepute for his claiming Chelsea paid players a bonus after the 2004 Champions League win over Arsenal; a Premier League inquiry into what would have been illegal bonus payments found no evidence to support the claims, which were denied by Chelsea. He scored his first goal for the "Addicks" against his old team Chelsea in a 2–1 defeat at Stamford Bridge on 9 September. After seven games without a goal, Hasselbaink scored against yet another of his former clubs, Middlesbrough on 13 January, a game which Middlesbrough went on to win 3–1. He was released by Charlton at the end of the 2006–07 season having scored only four goals in 29 games, with half of his goal tally coming against League One side Chesterfield in the League Cup.
How much were we paying him again?!
Utterly obnoxious and bone idle. Not to mention apologising to Chelsea fans when he scored for us!4 -
He was a good player who we got when he was on the slide. I think most of us were positive about the signing when it happened.0

It appears to me that Murray does not know whever he is on his a**e or his elbow on who to back and is keeping quite and waiting for the dust to settle, see who will eventually take over the club and then creep up to them (hoping it is not Varney) and try and get his free seat back in the directors box0

I think Murrays comment after we signed Diawara was "he is the most expensive signing I have never heard of". I still never understood why Murray sanctioned the purchase without finding out more about him rather than leave it all upto Dowie1

On paper Bauer and Sarr were better players, but both would take time to adapt, time we didn't have2 -

Diawara was a good player. It usually a good approach to sign good players, but they don't always work out for a number of reasons.1

Dowie's signings were terrible but so were his tactics. 10 men at West Ham and he took off Ambrose and left Hasselbaink to play midfield. His reliance on Bryan Hughes. Villa away. Wigan away. Shocking Bolton home, very lucky to win, same v Man City. Dreadful mess of a club that season.2

Didn't we sign Cory Gibbs that summer as well?0

Might be getting my eras mixed up but didn't we have someone else in charge of player signings as part of the Dowie set up?0

Curbs offered to do the last year of his contract , Murray chose not to take him up on that or Curbs' offer of help in finding a new manager.
source:Curbishley
Seriously deluded Murray believed he knew better than Curbishley , clown .
source:me
Then Murray decided on the management structure that he made Dowie have , Reed and was it Mark Robson
source: my shit memory
Then Reed stuck the knife in to get Dowie out when the players were supporting him

Looking at the list of possible replacements for Dowie in this Grauniad article about the sacking, the 4th suggestion rings a bell...whatever happened to him?Addicks' contendersGlenn Hoddle Out of football after leaving Wolves this summerAidy Boothroyd Impressed in taking Watford into the PremiershipBilly Davies Has taken Derby to fifth in the Championship this seasonDave Jones Steered Cardiff to top of the Championship in second seasonPaul Simpson Terrific record, last year at Carlisle and now with Preston0 -
Simpson was England u-20 manager recently.If Murray wanted boothroyd, why didn’t he get him?0
-
Regardless of what good he has done in the past, and all the problems since, I want Murray nowhere near Charlton when this mess is sorted, if sorted.
Personally I found him rude on my one encounter with him years ago. But I do appreciate he did good, and now bad for CAFC.
His decision making nowadays seems based on 'getting one over' on people, from Dowie to Varney. Easier said than done but the moment he is paid off and gone, the better.4 -

Feels like a lifetime ago now. So much shit has happened in that time.2 -
Didn't we once announce a signing at a horse racing track or something crazy like that? Would have been in the Dowie summer i'm sure but can't quite remember the details?2

Peter Varney's name came up in conversation, RD instantly became angry, saying RM had warned him that PV had 'taken funds out of the club'.
With no further explanation.
Remember RD making a demonstrative grabbing motion with his fist.
Have always wondered if this was the cause of the rift.There are multiple examples of Murray spreading misinformation privately and - famously, at Bromley - publicly, when he was called out by Wendy Perfect for lying about Steve Kavanagh‘s departure from the club. Murray’s behaviour stinks, but the rift goes back at least, coincidentally, to Varney intervening to prevent the 2010 Sainsbury takeover, which Murray was entertaining in his desperation. It featured Lee Amis and, allegedly, Matt Southall, as well as a convicted fraudster.0 -
